Sometimes I wonder if we ever truly let anyone completely in. The desire for another human being to know you, all of you, all the pieces, even the ones you’re ashamed of – is huge. But too often, we sit down and sort through the pieces only picking out the pretty ones, leaving the ugly ones behind, not realizing that choosing not to share with someone else is like committing a crime against our very soul .

About This Quote

Sometimes I wonder if we ever truly let anyone completely in. The desire for another human being to know you, all of you, all the pieces, even the ones you’re ashamed of — is huge. But too often, we sit down and sort through the pieces only picking out the pretty ones, leaving the ugly ones behind, not realizing that choosing not to share with someone else is like committing a crime against our very soul. I believe that this quote is true. We always want to be accepted and accepted by someone we're close to but we don't want to be rejected by anyone.

It's a very painful feeling and it's hard to accept that someone may not like us. We all want to be loved and accepted and be loved and accepted by everyone and everyone needs everyone and we need those who love us as much as those who love those who love us. This quote brings more meaning to me because I think about my friend group and how they don't like me sometimes because I am always nice and considerate to them no matter what but even though it hurts me inside, I know that if they don't like me then it's their choice and I can't change that for them no matter how much I wish they would change their opinions of me.
